MBTA commuter rail – Sunday night 2/12 to Monday 2/13

posted on February 12, 2017

We have been notified that the MBTA commuter rail must idle the trains throughout Sunday night 2/12 to Monday a.m. 2/13 due to cold temperature and other factors related to this winter storm. We recognize that this is a great burden of noise pollution as well as health and safety concerns for the residential neighborhood that abuts the idling trains. We will continue to work with the MBTA to find a better solution for the neighborhood and the hundreds of Needham commuters depending on a functioning commuter rail line.
